Okay! Thanks to Everyone who has reviewed! And like last time, let's just pretend that I memorized everyone's name, and I put them here…….All right, so let's just get on with this people's! I almost forgot-FREE imaginary CD's for everyone! Whee! (Goes outside, and throws CD's at people, hitting some in the face) Whoops, sorry.
Disclaimer: I don't own…why would I be here if I owned?
Chapter 6
Ray awoke around 3 A.M., but still, Kai didn't wake. He stood u, then touched Kai's hand, and left quickly. He ran until he was outside. The wind was cold; biting him like it knew what he had caused. He zipped up his jacket, and put his hands in his pockets. (Damn all this…) Ray thought, looking at the sky. He quietly went in the dorm room, then lay there, on the bed, thinking for a while. He soon fell to sleep, not bothering to take off his shoes…

In the morning, he awoke at 7:44. He got out of bed, combed his hair, gelling it the usual way, then got into his school clothes. He headed to art class, and sat in his seat quietly. He was in no mood to draw, but he knew he dad to. Tyson came up to him slowly.
"He'll be all right, don't worry." Tyson assured him.
"I know." Ray said quietly, looking up at the teacher as she walked in.
"Hello everyone!" She greeted them cheerfully. "Everyone here?" She asked, looking at her chart. No one said anything. "Now, where's Mr. Hiwitari?" She asked.
"Accident." Ray said softly.
"What!" The teacher asked, alarmed.
"He got hit by a car." Max said quickly, knowing that Ray didn't want to talk about it.
"Oh my Kami, how?" She asked.
"He…I don't know." Max trailed off, looking at Ray.
"Is he okay?" She looked shocked.
"He's in Acoma." Ray said, not looking up at her. The teacher gasped, then she quietly resumed the class.
"Okay, it's time to draw." She said, going to her desk. She quickly made a phone call. Ray listened with his sensitive ears.
"Yes, Ron did you hear about Kai Hiwitari?…Yes, they say he's in Acoma, in critical condition. I hope he gets better…Oh my Kami, he might be paralyzed?" Ray clenched the pencil tightly in his hand, almost breaking it. He shut his eyes tightly, and tried to keep down the tears. (It's all my fault…all my got damn fault…Kai, please wake up soon…) Ray thought over and over again…A tear finally went down his cheek, breaking the barrier he had been holding. He quickly wiped it, and hoped that no one had seen it. He resumed his drawing quietly, thinking about sneaking out second period…Kai was more important.

At the end of second period, he sneaked out, and went to see Kai. Although he didn't expect any changes…he knew he'd still look the same. He went inside Kai's room, and sat in the empty chair beside the bed…he took Kai's battered arm, where IV was hooked to it, and gently kissed it. (No, I won't loose another love) Ray thought, remembering his old teammate, Mariah, who had died of a strong, slow killing disease…. But that was two years ago. His heart had still been healing from his last loss, and if he lost Kai, he would have to go through the same thing again…this time, he knew he would never heal.
"Please, Kai, wake up soon…" Ray cried onto Kai's hand. The tears flowed like the river back in China…like on one would ever cry for Kai…Ray wasn't even sure he had family.
"Kai…I hope that you can hear me…I need you back-we need you back, so please…Please wake up…." Ray trailed off…tears flowing…just flowing…

Five weeks later, Ray had given up hope. He went in to say good bye to Kai since they would be taking off the monitor that day. Ray said he would take them off, and they gave him permission. Ray looked at him, then gently turned it off. The monitor made the sound on one ever wanted to hear in the hospital. A plain deep, never stopping, never ending beep. He slowly took off the tube from his mouth, then kissed his lips. He slowly entered his mouth, searched, then finally, out of breath, and covering Kai in tears, he broke it. Ray cried, touching Kai's cheek slightly, then going out of the room. The nurse had been waiting outside, so she went in after he had left. The nurse was about to put the death date, when suddenly, the monitor held a heart beat. It beeped slowly, and she gasped. She called the doctor, then checked on him. Ray saw a doctor running towards where he had come from, two of them. He looked back, then saw the nurse running towards him.
"He's alive!" She exclaimed, taking hold of his hand. Ray followed, not believing the news. (I must be dreaming…) he thought to himself, running with the nurse. He went in, and sure enough, Kai was breathing by himself, but in painful gasps. (Kai…) ray thought, smiling at him. He came over to him slowly, to say hello all over again…

Ha! You thought I was going to let him die, huh? Well, I just can't do that, you see, when characters die, it always causes disinterest in the cartoon, or movie, fanfic, or somethin'. (Although I did kill Benimaru in one of my KOF fics…but I'm bringin' him back to life as we speak!) Well, it was pretty short-but hey, it's better than nothin' right? Anyway, you'll find out if he's paralyzed tomorrow or not…or when I update that is. Please review, and I'll give all of you people a chapter soon!
